SERRAL vs CLEM: Big ZvT Match! | $40,000 Master's Coliseum Playoffs (ZvT Bo5) - StarCraft 2 

Spoiler shield! Wassup

When clem is at the top of his game he's my favorite Terran to watch against zerg.

Perfect high-speed, high-energy, high-precision play-by-play commentary. Thanks mate!

Hey Pig! Thanks so much for another terrific cast. You are easily my favorite caster and one of the main reasons I still tune in to pro SC2 matches. Just wanted to offer one comment. There are so many tournaments that it's hard to keep track of what's at stake, where they're playing, what happens if either player loses, etc. Any info you can share to help frame the tournaments would be greatly appreciated! (PS my fiancé just saw me writing this and is giving me all kinds of shit lol but I stand by my fandom!)

Awesome series, PiG's commentary was fantastic!

it's one of few matches where zerg and terran look balanced and only the skills of the player is making them win or lose. great match ! great commentary, i always wondered why they never repair the medivacs and you just answered !

Such a good series. I’m so impressed with how well both of these guys play the game. Really enjoyable to watch

I think Clem has been 'Darked' too many times and has adapted to Zerg shinanigans marvelously. Huge Serral fan, but hats off to Clem.

"France holding strong for the first time in 100 years"

At this point, I'm convince Clem is the only one who can take on Serral on TvZ convincingly..

Great cast and my favorite outcome :)

Top tier Ts from Korea stands little chance against Serral, at least in 2023. I wonder what Clem does differently that helps him have square results against Serral

Spoiler alert Last game Clem didnt forget his armory, he wanted to go for a 1-1 push first with the 2 tanks so he delayed his armory, then went into 2-2 with drilling claws behind it. Its a pretty standard build.

Spoiler . . . . . I sometimes feel like it's a rock-paper-scissors: Serral beats everyone, Clem beats Serral, and everyone beats Clem 😄

When you went back to Clem’s natural and he had put tech labs on both barracks. So sick

Reynor may be the Italian stallion, but Clem is the French Phenom 🇨🇵🇨🇵

GGs, great casting, as always. PIG should make a masterclass training video/series on casting SC2.

I'm so proud of Clem for not panic-F2'ing.

2:30 Skillous got angRRRrRry over this. He got the most insane R's. I fear them.

I wonder if Serral left that one overlord in the middle out on purpose as bait so Clem would push down the center. And if the bait didn't work, hey he had a free ovie out for vision conveniently placed to poo creep up a tough to contest ramp.

Game 2 is why I constantly scream at terrans to build a defensive Raven.

‘France holding strong!… for the first time in 100 years…’ i hurt myself laughing at this

"france holding strong for the first time in 100 years" lmao

clem (terran) faced of against Zerg(Zerg) I LOVE IT!!!

Heard about this series.

Haha Mexican guy here , we go hard on our R’s .

Just my opinions: Problem is Serral always let his guards down in undecisive matches and always win decisive matches. I notice this again and again in several tournaments. Serral always lost in the game that can be lost (except Solar recently and Reynor, Dark last two years). At this point, in decisive matches there is no way to win Serral without Zerg. Terran is close to Zerg and Protoss has no chance in the professional scene right now. Serral is probably the best SC2 right now but let us not pretend that it is not because of Zerg at all. Morever, people can disbelieve it but the time zone difference plays a huge role in any professional and international competitions either in chess, physical sports or video games. You cannot perform at your best at your sleeping time routine. That's why the athletes normally go to the olympic host country for at least one to two weeks to get used to the new time zone (even 2-3 hour difference make huge impacts). All these small factors make Zerg, and especially Serral, look imba over years. We can look at how Reynor got eliminated in GSL first round right after winning the world championship (not mentioning Astrea here). Well, I can feel Reynor being a bit cocky during that time contributed to the fact too. However, Reynor lost two straight games with Protoss to Dark with absolutely no hope. The professionals don't always put their best efforts into the game as long as it is not a decisive money match. Why should they put all efforts when they can save the best strategies, energy and focus for later? Imagine this game is the semi-final or final (no upper or lower brackets), there is no way serral played like this. For example, we could see Buyn won small to medium tournaments but there would be no way Buyn could win big tournaments where all big guys will put their best efforts. The professional players are essentially outliers in the whole SC2 community. We cannot use the SC2 statistics across all the game levels to apply to them. One professional player can almost always beat a grandmaster with less efforts they normally put into professional competition if they way. They understand the game, the mechanics and strategy, in general, better than the rest of the community.

long time no see clem...and kid ain´t kid anymore

wow great games and cast.

I think Australians like to put Rs on words that don’t have it. Like Oh No becomes Orrr Norrr. I know becomes I knowrrr. And I think heard you say go horrrm for go home. 😅

"we don't use hahhd ahhs in Austarlia"

Serral should have gone in and traded completely so many times...

whooooo that game 3 was #dicey

who let serral wear that hat tho :O

That was sick! 😊 nice

Clem won, but see how many ways zerg can hit the opponent. its crazy

I don't understand why Terran don't produce ravens for detection, like that's what its for. Jesus christ

ザーグリングにも空に届く遠隔攻撃が欲しい。リキャストが3分でも良い。

38:46 serral can expand and drone up.. and hold for about a minute there, as the worker count is still pretty low... I always think 44 is a good number... Serral shoudl of weaved in worker every 3 roaches...... so an all in isn't an all in.. I always havea bakc up plan, tpyically in my first attackis damage.. and macro behind it,,, but then i invert my mind and drone, and create 1 roach.... so if yo ufail.. you split your larva working...

medivacs + marines GG

Damn. Clem plays Terrain like Serral plays Zerg. Clem's Marines move like they just did an eightball with a shot of Redbull with no sex in 3 weeks. Muthafu*kers are aggressive.

Oh nooooo :)

I really wonder why clem doesn't just build one raven to detect all those roaches.. How much money could have been saved is unreal.

GREAT CLEM MAKE TERAN BIG!

terran actually wins vs the op z? that is crazy. not even maru could do that. wth

why don't pros build firebaths againts lings?

If clem was a zerg main, he would never lose a series

damn they look cute in the thumbnail

Does anyone else think it's unrealistic that a burrowed zergling would prevent a massive building from landing on the ground? Annoying zerg game exploit that compounds economic advantage by forcing scans instead of mules. Seems more likely that the terran command center should kill anything burrowed underneath it when it lands.

622 or 2 base thors

I thought Clem had fallen off... I was wrong! Crazy how he seems struggles more against Dark than Serral.

The last hope for Terran, great job Clem!

a raven would have saved him in game 2
